Latest takes
“Brown , Jaxon Smith‑Njigba , Justin Jefferson and CeeDee Lamb all provide stable weekly production because their offenses run directly through them.”
Lawrence Iacona· Aug 19“Lamb is a pick I don’t exactly love in a vacuum. I am lower on him than most this season and don’t believe he should be a first-round pick in fantasy.”
Samwise· Aug 16“Lamb remains a locked-in WR1 with a stellar quarterback in his prime and George Pickens alongside him to keep defenses honest.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 14

“CeeDee Lamb had a “down” year last season as the WR11 in fantasy points per game, but that finish doesn’t really tell the entire story of Lamb’s season. In Week 3, he played only seven snaps, and in Week 18, he played only 45.5% of the snaps.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 14“CeeDee Lamb | WR, Dallas Cowboys Still within his prime years, you may be surprised to see CeeDee Lamb listed here.”
Kyle Lesti· Aug 11“CeeDee Lamb (WR – DAL) In a world where George Pickens had hit the open market, or was traded by the Cowboys this offseason, instead of signing his franchise tag tender, CeeDee Lamb could have been back in the top two wide receiver conversation.”
Tom Strachan· Aug 11“He has a solid offensive line in front of him and perhaps the best WR tandem in the league in CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens .”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 11“This is a basic one you’ve probably already heard of before. Take CeeDee Lamb and name your team after the popular movie starring legendary actor Anthony Hopkins.”
Frank Ammirante· Aug 4“20 come from two buckets: Hyper-specified role players (Stefon Diggs, Rashee Rice) Guys with other top 24 or strong ancillary target competition (Both Rams WRs, Jameson Williams, CeeDee Lamb, Tee Higgins, Quentin Johnston with Ladd McConkey/Keenan Allen) You may notice there’s one guy on this list who fits in neither, and it’s Thundering Herd legend Christian Watson (shout out to NDSU).”
Tony Martin· Jul 30“The Cowboys made no meaningful additions at RB this offseason and are running it back with Dak Prescott , CeeDee Lamb , and George Pickens .”
Jordan Pullett· Jul 29“If you’re happy to believe 2025 was a blip rather than the new normal, it becomes easier to see Lamb as a value pick in this range. Betting on Lamb’s well-established connection with Dak Prescott and this team as a whole to bounce back isn’t the worst bet in the world.”
Tom Strachan· Jul 27“CeeDee Lamb is eminently talented, do not get me wrong there, and this offense will promise to be extremely high-flying and productive. However, he has one season in his career wherein he finished higher than WR7 or with more than 17.7 PPR points per game. That season came in 2023 when he led the NFL in targets with 181 targets.”
Jeff Krisko· Jul 26“CeeDee Lamb (WR – DAL) It was a really disappointing 2025 for CeeDee Lamb , posting the second-lowest numbers of his career in targets (117), receptions (75) and receiving yards (1,077), with only his rookie season in 2020 worse.”
Tom Strachan· Jul 25“Malik Nabers, CeeDee Lamb, and Justin Jefferson all have similar LTV scores in the same range as Love’s.”
Jonathan Lange· Jul 21“Lamb posted the second-lowest numbers of his career in targets, receptions and yards, with only his rookie season in 2020 worse. He also had a career-low three touchdowns. Pickens saw a 22.1% target share in the red zone compared to Lamb's 18.6%, which was also behind Jake Ferguson, who led the team with a 23.1% red-zone target share.”
Tom Strachan· Jul 12
“They also have Brock Bowers fully healthy, which is a massive addition to the offense as a whole.”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 19“He’s the one player I wouldn’t want to miss out on, as he’ll likely be the TE1 this season if he can stay healthy. Bowers will be the No. 1 receiver for this Raiders offense led by Kirk Cousins and/or Fernando Mendoza .”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 18“With better health in 2026, he has a chance to match or exceed his rookie numbers. The Raiders are talent-starved at wide receiver, so Bowers is poised to be their alpha pass catcher.”

“Brock Bowers has been fantastic since he entered the NFL. He dealt with injuries last season, but was unstoppable when healthy.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 12“Starting WR/WR with Drake London or Nico Collins in round two could let you lean into Zero RB with an elite tight end such as Brock Bowers or Trey McBride .”
Tom Strachan· Aug 11“If limited to the 10 final starts, which include two games against the Broncos and a game against the Seahawks, 230 yards per game given the limited receiving options outside of Brock Bowers is a lofty target.”
Curtis Hirsch· Aug 10“Brock Bowers (TE – LV) is a long-shot dark horse for Offensive Player of the Year.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 10“Despite playing on one leg for the entire season, Bowers still ranked 13th in yards per route run and first downs per route run last season (per Fantasy Points Data). To understand Bowers’ 2026 upside and talent, we need to rewind to 2024 when he was the TE3 in fantasy points per game. During that season, he was seventh in target per route run rate, sixth in yards per route run, third in receiving yards per game, second in first read share, and seventh in first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data).”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 8“Well, here we are… Brock Bowers is hands down the fantasy TE1.”
Kurt Blakeway· Aug 7“Brock Bowers (TE – LV) Brock Bowers was injured a lot last season, and the quarterback situation was poor”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 6“Round 4: Brock Bowers (TE – LV) Brock Bowers dealt with injuries last season, but assuming he stays healthy this season, he should be in for a TE1-caliber season.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 5“I’m certainly willing to spend early-round draft capital on Brock Bowers , who’s capable of putting up the sort of numbers the elite wide receivers produce, or Colston Loveland , who turned into a monster late in his rookie season.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 4“Loveland is the consensus TE3 for 2026 fantasy drafts behind only Brock Bowers and Trey McBride .”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 30“Neither should be drafted this high. Last season, McBride averaged 18.6 PPR points per game, and Bowers averaged 15.5 in 2024, the better season of his two years in the NFL.”
Tom Strachan· Jul 27“Everyone loves receiving a well-considered offer; nobody likes being offered a mediocre tight end when they already have Brock Bowers.”
Ted Chmyz· Jul 26
